US resident Anthony Nephew has committed suicide after killing his wife, former partner and his sons in a shocking murder-suicide.
Per international media reports, Nephew carried out the deed in the Minnesota area of the country following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
The 46-year-old father was reportedly found dead on Thursday with a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his home on West 6th Street in Duluth, Minnesota.
Also discovered were the bodies of his wife, 45-year-old Kathryn Ramsland and seven-year-old son Oliver, with gunshot wounds inflicted on them.
Nephew had been open about his opposition to Trump before his demise, sharing left-wing posts on his Facebook account in July.
“My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion.
“I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family. I have intrusive thoughts of being burned at the stake as a witch or crucified on a burning cross.
“Having people actually believe that I or my child are Satan, or the anti-Christ, or whatever their favourite boogeyman they are afraid of this week,” his post reads.
“Not that anyone cares, but as an Independent voter, I would really like to see both the political parties in our country pick better candidates.
“We can do better than a binary choice between fascism and not fascism,” another social media post reads.
